PEPFAR's annual planning process is done either at the country (COP) or regional level (ROP).
PEPFAR's programs are implemented through implementing partners who apply for funding based on PEPFAR's published Requests for Applications.
Since 2010, PEPFAR COPs have grouped implementing partners according to an organizational type. We have retroactively applied these classifications to earlier years in the database as well.
Also called "Strategic Areas", these are general areas of HIV programming. Each program area has several corresponding budget codes.
Specific areas of HIV programming. Budget Codes are the lowest level of spending data available.
Expenditure Program Areas track general areas of PEPFAR expenditure.
Expenditure Sub-Program Areas track more specific PEPFAR expenditures.
Object classes provide highly specific ways that implementing partners are spending PEPFAR funds on programming.
Cross-cutting attributions are areas of PEPFAR programming that contribute across several program areas. They contain limited indicative information related to aspects such as human resources, health infrastructure, or key populations programming. However, they represent only a small proportion of the total funds that PEPFAR allocates through the COP process. Additionally, they have changed significantly over the years. As such, analysis and interpretation of these data should be approached carefully. Learn more
Beneficiary Expenditure data identify how PEPFAR programming is targeted at reaching different populations.
Sub-Beneficiary Expenditure data highlight more specific populations targeted for HIV prevention and treatment interventions.
PEPFAR sets targets using the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) System - documentation for which can be found on PEPFAR's website at https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. As with most data on this website, the targets here have been extracted from the COP documents. Targets are for the fiscal year following each COP year, such that selecting 2016 will access targets for FY2017. This feature is currently experimental and should be used for exploratory purposes only at present.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY 2008.
TITLE: Providing Access to Safe Water
NEED and COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: A recent study in Africa has demonstrated that diarrhea is four
times more common among children with HIV and seven times more common among adults with HIV than
HIV negative household members (Mermin et al, 2004). The provision of a plastic water vessel with a spigot
and a supply of chlorine tablets for water purification was associated with a reduction in microbial
contamination of household water and less diarrhea and dysentery among persons with HIV. This
intervention has been demonstrated as a cost-effective method of providing safe drinking water, according
to the World Health Organization.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: FY 2007 funds were requested for an initial purchase of water vessels and tablets,
to be distributed through a social marketing program linked with USG implementing partners. The activity
will soon be contracted.
Procurement is planned with the FY 2007 to make water vessels and water purification tablets to
households of people who are being provided with home-based care for HIV/AIDS. The vessels and tablets
will be included in the basic preventive care package for persons living with HIV (PLWHA), as part of a
broader social marketing program that distributes the vessels and water purification tablets.
ACTIVITIES: With FY 2008 funds, additional water vessels and water purification tablets would be made
available without cost to households of people who are being provided with home-based care, probably
through a voucher system. These water vessels and the chlorine will be provided to all PLWHA receiving
palliative care as a part of a basic preventive care package for persons with HIV. The vouchers would be
distributed by the palliative care provider.
FY 2008 funds would provide for an additional 45,000 water containers and tablets to support 45,000
households.
LINKAGES: This program would link with all palliative care providers, both facility-based and home-based
services. Because the beneficiaries are not unduplicated, no targets are indicated. The program would also
coordinate with the Counseling and Social Services Unit at the National AIDS Control Programme (NACP),
especially for planning and evaluating lessons learned.
